  Pharmacology is probably a bad example because of the amount of legal fighting done within the pharmaceutical industry to keep people using (sometimes addicted to) their product as long as possible and to downplay any side-effects. Of course limiting resources to anyone that could oppose their sales is going to be common. So I wouldn’t say my point (which is that it is unethical to publish with no regard towards stochastic social harm on controversial topics) is the reason it’s difficult to obtain research for that industry specifically but the nature of that industry itself to keep information proprietary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think your first point contradicts your second.

  I’m sure most people would consider it to be unethical if a study is published while knowing it is not truthful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand that doing research can take a long time and costs money but publishing findings that partially confirm a pre-existing stigma of a vulnerable group of people, witnessing bigots leverage said research to voice oppression against said group, and wanting to do it all again is definitely in the realm of being unethical.

  The pursuit of nuanced truth is a luxury that is being warped and tarnished by psychotic bigotry. Performing research for the sake of truth that might get real people harmed or killed is by definition unethical.

  I honestly don’t understand what point you’re trying make.

  That’s why, in general you should look into non-GMO or organic foods. There are a few fruits and vegetables that are hardy on their own, but berries, broccoli, spinach, etc tend to absorb the chemicals used by farmers and people are indirectly ingesting them.

  I’m not sure what you mean. It should be a planet by the definition I gave before unless I didn’t convey what I was trying to say correctly. It’s definitely large, heavy, and spherical enough to be a planet in my opinion.

  There’s tons of different sized objects in our solar system and it’s distinguishable enough to qualify in this one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sad Ganymede noises⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d agree with you but the definition is arbitrary and is not of natural kind. Even worse, instead of making the definition of a planet more clear it just makes the determining what is a planet more difficult.

  Honestly, if they just went with defining ‘Major Planets’, ‘Minor Planets’, and asteroids determined by mass and spherical shape, I think everyone would’ve moved on by now.

  Sounds like your DNS server is filtered. Try using another server (like 9.9.9.9) in your network connection.

  From what I remember, the water that is near the fissile material is in its own closed loop tank and has heat exchangers that transfer heat to another water loop that goes to the turbines.

  Good point. I’ll update my comment.

  That’s probably okay for mild fevers but if they get progressively worse then you’re risking them permanent brain damage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All of these people with degrees and years of research don't know anything! Only trust your favorite conspiracy theorist⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s everything I know about this whole thing:

  There has been a lot of research into the subject but there’s also been unreliable data that is being used to intentionally misrepresent what has been found (hense the correlative vs causal relationships).

  So the current well agreed on science is:

  • All current fever reducing medications (and most other medications) do raise the detectable chances of a child being born with autism, including Tylenol
  • Having a fever while pregnant increases the chances of a child being born with autism well beyond the level that Tylenol would pose
  • So, using strategically Tylenol would be the best way to mitigate all risks. Which is also what was the general recommendation was prior to this DoH announcement.

  I think an open source paper cnc machine similar to a cricut would be way easier to replicate than a standard printer.

  This might partially answer your question: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/5186.

  It looks like the answer is, it depends on what you want to run as some configs are partially supported but there’s no clear cut support yet?

  They were new in the 1700s. They are not a new thing for humans today. If you don’t use vaccines you are an outlier to modern society.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨we are creators⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you mean the actual philosophy of truth or do you just mean that we currently have a cult of personality spewing lies and people end masse accept it as truth?

  Because I’ve heard arguments for both.

  I know right? I keep thinking it needs a blanket too but then I realize that it’s cold blooded. 😅
